Brady's Hammond

We've been here a few years ago and enjoyed it better then. I think we just came on the wrong afternoon this time. The place is more fun when it is lively. The service was fine, nothing overly special. No problems, the server was quick, and attentive but flat. I don't think she smiled once. She may have been having a bad day, but it didn't seem like that. She didn't seem tired either, just simply bored. Not that I require bubbly customer service, but even just a hint of an attempt at a smile would have helped. The food was slightly burnt, not burnt to the point of inedible, but just past charred and just before it fully hits the smelling burnt stage. My wife's salad was wilted, and came out less than ten seconds after we ordered it. Long delays for salad aren't good either, but that quick and wilted is a bit odd. My son's grilled cheese sandwich was nothing special, slightly burnt on one side and reasonably melted. I still give it a 4, given that we have had great service and fantastic food in the past. If we go back soon and the food/service stays the same I'll downgrade to a 3, but it definitely isn't a 2 or a 1. It didn't make us sick, or nauseous, or even queasy, but there was a wow factor missing that used to be there. My bacon sandwich was fine, a little chewy for the hamburger, but probably because it also had a bit too much char to it as well.

I love Brady's. There was an issue with the waitress, she left us sitting waiting for the check 25 minutes after we finished eating, other than that it was great. Good food, love the atmosphere.
